Circuit Training Exercise
by Yuri in Fitness Training
Circuit training is a great way to combine cardio and resistance exercise, burn fat and lose weight, all in a short amount of time.
What Is Circuit Training?
In basic terms, circuit training involves alternating between a group of exercises without a break in between. Circuit training allows you to complete a full workout in much less time than it would take you in the gym. With circuit training you can complete your cardio and resistance training workout in under 30 minutes.
How Do I Make A Circuit Training Program?
A circuit training program can be cardio based, resistance based or a combination of the two. For a cardio based circuit training program, select four or five cardio exercise and decide the order you will do them in and for how long. Complete each exercise in turn with no rest in between. Follow this same advice for a resistance based program as well. Although you are not resting in between each exercise, your muscle groups are resting as you move onto each new exercise.
Exercise Ideas For A Circuit Training Program?
You can use just about any exercise to make a circuit training program. Cardio exercises such skipping, stepping, sprinting, cycling, rowing, jogging on the spot, and jumping jacks make excellent circuit training exercises. If you are making a resistance training circuit, then almost anything goes! From body weight exercises to dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, medicine balls, exercise balls and cable machines, the choice is yours when it comes to creating a circuit training program.
One of the many benefits of a circuit training program is that you can do it anywhere – in the gym, at home, in a hotel, on the beach, in the park – anywhere that you can exercise, you can create a circuit training program. If you find yourself short on time or simple want a change or to challenge yourself, give circuit training a go.
